1、 How long does it last

The flowering time of crab claw orchid starts from September every year and can last until April of the next year. The growth of crab claw orchid in different growth environments is different, and the flowering time is different. The specific flowering time is determined according to the climate and flower growth of that year. The flowering period of crab claw orchid can last for 2-3 months, and the flowering period is also short and long. If you don't pay attention to maintenance, the flowering period may be shortened

2、 How to prolong flowering period

1. Avoid strong light: crab claw orchid needs enough sunshine before and during flowering, but once it blooms, it can't be raised in strong light. The crab claw orchid can be moved to a semi shady place and exposed to astigmatism, which can block at least 30% - 50% of the light. If the light is too strong, the flowers will be burned, causing the flower buds to wither in advance, greatly shortening the flowering period, so we must pay attention to avoiding strong light

2. Low temperature treatment: crab claw likes a cool growth environment. If the temperature in the growth environment is too high, the flowers will be greatly shortened. The temperature can be controlled to keep the temperature at about 10-15 degrees and reduce the speed of metabolism, which can prolong the flowering time

3. Keep the temperature difference: after the crab claw orchid blooms, the surrounding temperature difference should be kept within 5 degrees
